Total command achieved
Skill mastery is the state of having developed a skill to a high level of proficiency—beyond competence to something approaching expertise.
The term appears frequently in education, gaming, and professional development contexts: The course is designed around skill mastery rather than seat time.
Unlike mere familiarity, mastery implies reliable performance under varied conditions.
